Blood In Urine, Ketones In Urine, Iron Deficiency, Urge To Urinate, Leg Numbness, Feet Cramps. Any Other Doctors I Should See?

default
Posted on Mon, 1 Oct 2012
Question: I'm 38.. been having symptoms of UTI for 6 weeks but docs say no infection..small amount of blood in my urine that is more than normal so i'm being referred to a urologist and also ketones in my urine so they tested for diabetes, but as far as I know it was negative, they didn't call me back..and I was iron deficient (8.1) , but when i lay down, i feel like something presses on my bladder as if I were pregnant and I always feel the urge to urinate and my legs feel numb too.. several times during the night I have to get up and stand to stop my feet from cramping.. I'm a mess.. my appointment isn't until January, any advice, any other doctors I should see?
OH..I should also say that even though there was no infection, I took one round of Bactrim for 7 days..then 2 rounds of Cipro..each for 7 days. I don't so much feel burning when I pee..mostly just feel like I gotta go all the time, even if I rest my hands on my stomach, I feel the urge to go.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Persistent microscopic hematuria in the absence of infection certainly needs to be investigated and you should see the urologist for the same.

Your symptoms of urgency, suprapubic fullness also merit your being investigated further.
Till you see your urologist you can try to get ultrasound KUB if possible and also start yourself on cranberry juice. Take the juice only with straw otherwise you shall damage your teeth enamel.

Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
